Yesterday I was looking to book flights for a summer trip to Lake Tahoe (to seePhish, naturally). On nearly every airline I tried, looking to depart from either Manchester (MHT) or Boston (BOS) and heading to the Reno/Tahoe airport (RNO), the cost was about $800 per ticket. At the advice of some Twitterfollowers, I checked flights in and out of Sacramento (SMF) and on most airlines these were about the same, except Southwest where going from MHT to SMF saved me over $300 per ticket, making the cost of two tickets less than $1000. Still not as cheap as it would have been 2 years ago, but much better today!
